[LF] Astral Drake VN

The Astral Drake is a highly upgradable battlecruiser. The build spawns in lightly armed and equipped, though once upgraded it turns into a bastion of both offense and defense.


Coming in at a core 4 for Vanilla, the build has potential to house many protected container systems, and compartment space for additional armoring.



Hello kindred Empyrion spirits!

Let me start with a request; please respect blueprint authors. Often it takes months to finesse a build, and to have it ripped and reuploaded without permission or even so much as credit, can be discouraging, often pushing such authors away from the community.

I personally don't mind critical feedback, and constructive criticism, as it will serve me to better my builds. However, If you enjoy my content, and there is much more to come, respect my (and others) authorship of these massive timesinks. Thank You.

Coming in armed with 6 pulse lasers, 4 rocket launchers and 2 each of rocket and minigun turrets, the Drake can ramp up its firepower further yet. The platform can hold a max configuration of turrets, and a wide assortment of heavy mounts, as well as a LX-2 Thor Railgun.


Astral Drake has a number of armored compartments available to protect its core devices. In addition to this, the twin nose can be block-filled to make the battlecruiser a belligerent behemoth against the staunchest opponents.



The build spawns in with modest performance, but with a number of provisioned add-on placements for XXL Thrusters, the player can choose to invest CPU into making it more agile.



The Drake comes stock with 3x 320k ammo, a 320k Harvest, and 6x 160k cargo (upgradable), in addition to a number of supplemental cargo boxes



Customers of the Phoenix Starworks brand pressed the vendor for a line of ships that could house and support their line of starfighters, as well as be able to engage the toughest opponents. The Astral Drake would be the first in a line of combat CV's, and serve as the flagship of their fleets.
